BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to novel 3-aminoindazole derivatives which are useful in therapeutics. More specifically, this invention relates to novel 3-aminoindazole derivatives which have valuable effects for anti-inflammation, analgesic activity and for suppressing digestive tract ulcers, a side effect caused by using acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Further, this invention relates to a process for preparing the 3-aminoindazole derivatives.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Various experiments to obtain novel and useful anti-inflammatory drugs by many researchers in the field of synthetic organic chemistry have been done. Most of the experiments relate to the synthesis or testing of steroidal hormone compounds such as corticosteroids, and acidic non-steroidal substances such as phenylbutazon and indomethacin. On the other hand, the effects of basic non-steroidal agents have not been reported in development of novel, superior and improved anti-inflammatory agents, even though the basic non-steroidal agents have the same effects as the usual acidic non-steroidal compounds, and further, the basic agents advantageously show almost no side effects such as digestive tract ulcers, caused by the acidic non-steroidal compounds.

3-Aminoindazole was first reported in Bamberger, Liebigs Ann., 305, 339 (1899).

A 3-aminoindazole derivative whose phenyl ring has a halogen group or a trifluoromethyl group and whose 3-position is an amino group or an amino group substituted with a lower alkyl group is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,133,081. This patent discloses usage of these compounds as drugs having central nervous system activity, and as muscle relaxants, analgesics, antipyretics and tranquilizers. However, pharmacological data of the derivatives are not disclosed. Moreover, the compounds of U.S. Pat. No. 3,133,081 have never been actually used as medicines.

Silvest et. al., Arzneim-Forsch, 16, 59 (1966) report that 1-benzyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropoxy)indazole hydrochloric acid is effective against primary inflammation. For example, benzydamine hydrochloride is actually used as a medicine.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,382 discloses other 3-aminoindazole derivatives wherein the hydrogen atom linked with the 1-position nitrogen atom is substituted by an aryl group and whose 3-position is substituted by a ω-aminoalkyl group or an ω-heterocyclic aminoalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms together with the nitrogen atom; or a substituted ω-aminoalkylamido group or an ω-heterocyclic aminoalkylamido group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms together with the nitrogen atom. The patent also discloses usage of these compounds as antidepressants and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, pharmacological data are not disclosed in the U.S. patent. Moreover, these compounds have never been actually used as medicines.

Though some indazole derivatives are known, as described above, the prior art fails to teach or suggest the 3-aminoindazole derivatives of this invention.

The therapeutic activities of the 3-aminoindazole derivatives of this invention were measured by the following methods.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY

A standard method of Carrageenin Edema Test in Rat's Paw described in C. A. Winter et al., Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 111, 544 (1962) was employed.

Female Wistar rats weighing 120-150 g were orally administered 50-100 mg/kg of the test compound as an aqueous solution. One hour later, the pad of a hind paw of the rat was injected with 0.1 ml of 1% aqueous carrageenin solution. The volume of the paw was measured both before the injection of carrageenin and three hours after the injection. The increase in volume of the affected paw of the test animals (one group consisting of 6 animals) to the increase in volume of the affected paw of the controls shows the effect of the test compound. When this effect is the same or superior to the effect obtained by oral administration with 100 mg/kg of the standard compound such as phenylbutazon, the test compound is considered to have anti-inflammatory activity.

The edema inhibition percentage of the test compound was calculated from the ratio of the increase in the volume of the affected paw of the test animals to the increase in the volume of the affected paw of the controls.

ANALGESIC ACTIVITY

(1) Acetic Acid-Writhing Test

Acetic acid-writhing test was carried out according to Koster et al., Fed. Proc., 18, 412 (1959). Male ddy-strain mice weighing 15-18 g were orally administered 100 mg/kg of the test compound as an aqueous solution. Thirty minutes later, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.1 ml/10 g of 0.7% acetic acid physiological salt solution as a stimulant. Ten minutes after the stimulant injection, writhing frequency as pain response was observed and recorded over 10 minutes. The difference between the frequency of the injected test animals (one group consisting of 6 animals) and that of the controls shows the effect of the test compound. When the effect is the same or superior to the effect obtained by oral administration with the standard compound such as aspirin, the test compound is considered to have analgesic activity.

The inhibition percentage of the test compound was represented as the ratio of the inhibition of the writhing frequency.

(2) Randall-Selitto Test

The analgesic activity test was carried out according to the general method described in J. O. Randall & J. J. Selitto, Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn, 111, 409 (1957). Female wister rats weighing 120-150 g were orally administered 50 mg/kg of the test compound as an aqueous solution. Thirty minutes later, the pad of a hind paw of the rat was injected with 0.1 ml of 1% aqueous carrageenin solution. Pressure was applied to the paw where edema was formed by Balance-type Pressure Device (Ugo Basile Company; Italy) 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after the injection. The weight when the test animals began to struggle with pain was measured. The analgesic activity is represented by an analgesic coefficient which is obtained by dividing the average weight measured 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 hours after the administration by the applied weight prior to the administration. When the difference between the reaction of the test animals (one group consisting of 6 animals) and that of the controls is the same or superior to a effect obtained by administration of the basic anti-inflammatory analgesic such as tiaramide, the test compound is recognized as an effective compound for treating pain.

Acute Toxicity

Acute toxicity was measured by an ordinary method described in Finney D. J. Probit Analysis Cambridge University Press 48, (1952). Ddy mice weighing about 18 g on average, each group consisting of 10 animals, were intraperitoneally injected with the physiological salt solution containing the test compound. The amount of the test compound administered was varied in 5-8 groups. Three days after the administration, dead animals were counted in each group. The amount of the test compound killing half the number of the animals (LD₅₀) was calculated from the results.

Anti-Ulcer Test

The test compound was suspended in 1% HCO-60 (trade name for polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil; a product of Nikko Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan) at the concentration of 10 mg/ml. Male donryu rats weighing 150-160 g were orally administered 100 mg/kg of the test compound. The occurrence of gastric ulcer was examined 24 hours after the administration.

The following test results show the effects of the compounds according to this invention.

Inhibition values of the compounds (2), (4), (6), (10) and (13) are higher than that of the compound C-1 because the 3-aminoindazole derivatives of the general formula (II) of this invention have a substituted amino group ##STR27## in the ω-position. Further, inhibition values of the compounds (18), (22) and (28) are higher than those of the compounds C-2 and C-3, because the 3-aminoindazole derivatives of the general formula (III) of this invention have a substituted amino group ##STR28## in the ω-position.

In Table 2, there are shown inhibition percentages when the administration amount was varied.

In Table 3, 1-phenyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropylamino)indazole [referred to as "Compound C-6"] and 1-phenyl-3-aminoindazole [referred to as "Compound C-7"] are both comparative compounds. Compound C-6 is a typical compound disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,382.

Compounds (6) and (22) of this invention showed potent analgesic activity by the Randall-Selitto test. Analgesic coefficients of the compounds (6), (22) and water (H₂ O) are 1.11, 1.05 and 0.8, respectively.

Ulcer inhibition of 3-(3-diethylaminopropylamino)indazole (10) and 1-(3-piperidinopropyl)-3-aminoindazole (18), typical and preferred compounds of this invention, was measured. Gastric ulcer did not occur when 100 mg/kg of the compound (10) or (18) was singly administered at one time. Further, gastric ulcer did not occur, even though the compound (18) was administered for 5 days.

It is well known that the single use of acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs causes a side effect in digestive tracts such as gastric ulcer. The inventors found, however, that the side effect could be suppressed if the acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used in combination with the 3-aminoindazole derivatives or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of this invention. For example, gastric ulcer was caused by a single administration of 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg of indomethacin in an ulcer index of 10.2 mm and 34.3 mm, respectively, and in an occurrence frequency of 6/6 (Ulcer generation animal number/Total animal number). However, when 100 mg/kg of compound (18) of this invention was used together with 10 mg/kg of indomethacin, the ulcer index decreased to 2.5 mm though the occurrence frequency was not changed. Further, when 100 mg/kg of compound (10) of this invention was used together with 20 mg/kg of indomethacin the ulcer index decreased to 14.9 mm though the occurrence frequency was not changed.

The toxicity of the 3-aminoindazole derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts is very low. The acute toxicity (LD₅₀) ranged from 50 mg/kg to 700 mg/kg.

The following examples illustrate the present invention in more detail, but they are given for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

REFERENTIAL EXAMPLE 1

ω-Halogenoalkylamine salts were prepared by the following methods with reference to C. S. Marvel et. al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 49, 2299 (1927) and H. C. Brill, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 47, 1134 (1925).

1-(2-Bromoethyl)piperidine hydrobromide

In a mixed solution consisting of 50 g of 1,2-dibromoethane, 18.5 g of phenol and 100 ml of water was added dropwise 30 ml of water containing therein 7.9 g of sodium hydroxide at a temperature of 130° C. over 30 minutes with stirring. The reaction solution was further stirred for 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, the organic layer was separated from the reaction solution, washed twice with a saturated aqueous potassium carbonate solution, washed twice with water and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic layer was separated by filtration and condensed under reduced pressure to give 34.3 g of 2-phenoxyethyl bromide having a boiling point of 105° C. to 107° C. at 6 mmHg in a yield of 85%.

A mixture of 20 g of 2-phenoxyethyl bromide thus obtained, 7.92 g of piperidine and 12.86 g of potassium carbonate was added into 100 ml of ethyl alcohol and stirred for 6 hours at 100° C. The mixture obtained was filtered and condensed under reduced pressure to give 18.4 g of 1-(2-phenoxyethyl)piperidine having a boiling point of 111° C. to 112° C. at 7 mmHg in a yield of 90%.

15 g of the 1-(2-phenoxyethyl)piperidine thus obtained was reacted with 30 ml of 40% hydrobromic acid at 150° C. for 7 hours with stirring. The reaction solution was cooled, added with 20 ml of chloroform and then the chloroform layer was separated. The hydrobromic acid layer was condensed under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from 5 ml of ethyl alcohol to give 15.1 g of 1-(2-bromoethyl)piperidine hydrobromide having a melting point of 89° C. to 91° C. in a yield of 79%.

REFERENTIAL EXAMPLE 2 Syntheses of 1-(1-alkyl-3-bromopropyl)piperidine hydrobromides 1-(1-Methyl-3-bromopropyl)piperidine hydrobromide

1-(1-methyl-3-bromopropyl)piperidine hydrobromide was obtained in accordance with the following equations: ##STR79##

24.9 g of methyl iodide was reacted with 7.26 g of magnesium in 150 ml of anhydrous diethyl ether to obtain methylmagnesium iodide by Grignard reaction. To a solution consisting of 20 g of 3-phenoxypropionaldehyde and 200 ml of anhydrous diethyl ether was added dropwise the methylmagnesium while maintaining a temperature of not more than 20° C. The reaction solution was added with 25 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and separated. The ether layer was washed with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, washed with water, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and then condensed under reduced pressure to obtain 15.0 g of 4-phenoxy-2-butanol having a boiling point of 61° C. to 62° C. at 3 mmHg in a yield of 67%.

10 g of the 4-phenoxy-2-butanol was reacted with 13.9 g of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in 21.2 ml of 5N-sodium hydroxide in accordance with the method described in Norris, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 38, 642 (1907) to obtain 18.9 g of 4-phenoxy-2-butyl tosylate having a boiling point of 170° C. to 171° C. at 2 mmHg in a yield of 89%.

In a sealed tube, 10 g of the 4-phenoxy-2-butyl tosylate was reacted with 11.2 g of piperidine in 60 ml of absolute methyl alcohol for one hour at 125° C. After the reaction solution was condensed under reduced pressure. 100 ml of diethyl ether was added into the solution and the solution was separated with 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. After the ether layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, ether was removed under reduced pressure therefrom. The residue thus obtained was subjected to an alumina-column chromatography using chloroform as the solvent to give 5.46 g of 1-(1-methyl-3-phenoxypropyl)piperidine in a yield of 75%.

5 g of the 1-(1-methyl-3-phenoxypropyl)piperidine thus obtained was reacted with 30 ml of 40% hydrobromic acid at 150° C. for 7 hours with stirring. The reaction solution was cooled, 20 ml of chloroform was added and then the solution separated into two phases, which phases were then separated from each other. The hydrobromic acid was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from 5 ml of ethyl alcohol to give 4.84 g of 1-(1-methyl-3-bromopropyl)piperidine hydrobromide in a yield of 75%.

1-(1-Isobutyl-3-bromopropyl)piperidine hydrobromide

The above described procedures were repeated except that 24.0 g of isobutyl bromide was employed instead of 24.9 g of methyl iodide, and then 5.74 g of 1-(1-isobutyl-3-bromopropyl)piperidine hydrobromide was obtained in a yield of 78%.

REFERENTIAL EXAMPLE 3 Syntheses of 1-alkyl-3-bromopropyldiethylamines 1-Methyl-3-bromopropyldiethylamine

1-Methyl-3-bromopropyldiethylamine was prepared in accordance with the following equations: ##STR80##

To 60 ml of absolute methyl alcohol were added 10 g of 4-phenoxy-2-butyl tosylate and 9.62 g of diethylamine. The mixture was reacted in a sealed tube for one hour at 125° C. After the reaction solution was condensed under reduced pressure, 100 ml of diethyl ether was added into the solution and the solution was separated with 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The ether layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the ether was removed under reduced pressure therefrom. The residue thus obtained was subjected to alumina-column chromatography using chloroform as the solvent to give 5.32 g of 1-methyl-3-phenoxypropyldiethylamine in a yield of 77%.

5 g of the 1-methyl-3-phenoxypropyldiethylamine was reacted with 30 ml of 40% hydrobromic acid at 150° C. for 7 hours with stirring. The reaction solution was cooled, 20 ml of chloroform and was added and then the solution was separated into two phases, which phases were then separated from each other. The hydrobromic acid was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from 5 ml of ethyl alcohol to give 4.88 g of 1-methyl-3-bromopropyldiethylamine hydrobromide in a yield of 78%.

REFERENTIAL EXAMPLE 4 Syntheses of 1-alkyl-3-bromopropyldimethylamines 1-Methyl-3-bromopropyldimethylamine

1-Methyl-3-bromopropyldimethylamine was obtained in accordance with the following equations: ##STR81##

To 60 ml of absolute methyl alcohol were added 10 g of 4-phenoxy-2-butyl tosylate and 5.93 g of dimethylamine. The mixture was reacted in a sealed tube for one hour at 125° C. After the reaction solution was condensed under reduced pressure, 100 ml of diethyl ether was added into the solution and the solution was separated with 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The ether layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the ether was removed under reduced pressure therefrom. The residue thus obtained was subjected to an alumina-column chromatography using chloroform as the solvent to give 3.98 g of 1-methyl-3-phenoxypropyldimethylamine in a yield of 66%.

5 g of the 1-methyl-3-phenoxypropyldimethylamine thus obtained was reacted with 30 ml of 40% hydrobromic acid at 150° C. for 7 hours with stirring. The reaction solution was cooled, 20 ml of chloroform was added and then the solution was separated. The hydrobromic acid was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from 5 ml of ethyl alcohol to give 4.46 g of 1-methyl-3-bromopropyldimethylamine hydrobromide in a yield of 79%.

EXAMPLE 1

4.0 g of 3-aminoindazole prepared by the method described in C. E. KWARTLER et. al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 65, 1804 (1943), 8.18 g of 1-(2-bromoethyl)piperidine hydrobromide obtained from Referential Example 1, 8.28 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 80 ml of dried N,N-dimethylformamide were mixed and stirred for 24 hours at 80° C. After the reaction mixture was condensed under reduced pressure, 100 ml of chloroform and 50 ml of water were added to the condensed residue. Then the chloroform layer was separated, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and chloroform was removed under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to alumina-column chromatography (alumina: 200 g) using chloroform as the solvent to give 4.09 g of 3-(2-piperidinoethylamino)indazole in a yield of 56%.

EXAMPLE 17

5.0 g of the same 3-aminoindazole as Example 1 and 6.68 g of phthalic acid were added to 50 ml of dioxane, and the mixture was stirred for 5 hours at 120° C. The mixture was condensed under reduced pressure, 30 ml of diethyl ether was added and the mixture was stirred under cooling with ice and water for 30 minutes to separate crystals. The crystals were obtained by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to give 8.6 g of 3-phthalimidoindazole in a yield of 87%.

IR absorption spectrum (ν max, cm⁻¹): 3310, 1790, 1735 and 1625.

To 60 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide were added 4.0 g of 3-phthalimidoindazole, 4.76 g of 1-(2-bromoethyl)piperidine hydrobromide as obtained in Referential Example 1 and 6.3 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate and the mixture was stirred for 12 hours at 80° C. After the reaction mixture was cooled, 80 ml of water was added to the mixture and the organic product was extracted with diethyl ether. The ether layer was extracted three times with 2N-hydrochloric acid. Then the hydrochloric acid layer was washed with diethyl ether and the pH of the layer was adjusted to 14 with potassium carbonate. The layer was extracted three times with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and chloroform was removed under reduced pressure to give 3.28 g of 1-(2-piperidinoethyl)-3-phthalimidoindazole in a yield of 57%.

IR absorption spectrum (ν max, cm⁻¹): 3050, 2950, 1785, 1730 and 1615.

EXAMPLE 33

To 60 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide were added 4.00 g of 1-(3-diethylaminopropyl)-3-aminoindazole prepared by the same method as Example 26, 8.98 g of 3-bromopropyldiethylamine hydrobromide and 7.89 g of anhydrous potassium carbonate, and the mixture was stirred for 12 hours at 80° C. After cooling the reaction mixture, the mixture was added with 80 ml of water and extracted with diethyl ether. Then the ether layer was extracted three times with 2N-hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid layer was washed with diethyl ether and the pH of the layer was adjusted to 14 with potassium carbonate. The layer was extracted three times with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and chloroform was removed under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to an alumina-column chromatography (alumina: 200 g) using chloroform as the solvent to give 3.05 g of 1-(diethylaminopropyl)-3-(3-diethylaminopropylamino)indazole in a yield of 52%.

IR absorption spectrum (ν max, cm⁻¹): 3305, 3200, 2980, 2800 and 1615.

Mass spectrum (m/e, rel. intensity): 359 (M⁺, 100), 360 (M+1, 39), 330 (M-29, 37), 301 (M-58, 21), 260 (M-99, 104) and 246 (M-113, 185).

In 50 ml of absolute ethyl alcohol was dissolved 3.0 g of 1-(3-diethylaminopropyl)-3-(3-diethylaminopropylamino)indazole and into the solution was introduced dried hydrogen chloride gas under cooling with ice. Anhydrous diethyl ether was added to the solution to separate crystals. Then the crystals were obtained by filtration and dried to give 1-(3-diethylaminopropyl)-3-(3-diethylaminopropylamino)indazole dihydrochloride.

EXAMPLES 34-37

The same procedures as described in Example 33 were repeated except that 1-halogenoalkylamine salts (c) as set forth in Table 9 were employed instead of 8.98 g of 3-bromopropyldiethylamine hydrobromide. The results and the analytical values of the compounds obtained are shown in Tables 9 and 10, respectively.

EXAMPLE 38

The same procedures as described in Example 33 were repeated except that 4.20 g of 1-(3-piperidinopropyl)-3-aminoindazole prepared by the same method as Example 18 was employed instead of 4.00 g of 1-(3-diethylaminopropyl)-3-aminoindazole. The results and the analytical values of the compound obtained are shown in Tables 11 and 12, respectively.

EXAMPLES 47-49

The same procedures as described in Example 46 were repeated except that 1-halogenoalkylamine salts (f) as set forth in Table 15 were employed instead of 8.98 g of 3-bromopropyldiethylamine hydrobromide. The results and the analytical values of the compounds obtained are also shown in Tables 15 and 16, respectively.

THERAPEUTIC EXAMPLE 1

The anti-inflammatory activity of the 3-aminoindazole derivative hydrochloric acid salts obtained by Examples 1-49 of this invention was measured by the standard method of carrageenin edema test.
